Your motor is non-turbo.
All J-spec motors are turbo'd.
Please read the stickies / FAQ about doing this conversion correctly.
It involves a lot more than you think.

Yep - might have to cut a small piece of metal off the body, though. Search for the writeup.

Only the Infini engine, and I believe that was mostly exhaust related. The main reason to get a j-spec is because they are cheap and usually low milage, but you dont know the ocndition of the motor for sure. That or you want a MaD tYte JDM car, yo!!
